Animals, Animals

Today my brothers and I left for the beach early in the morning. A special beach where a beautiful underwater coral garden can be witnessed.

There I saw three sea turtles close-up. They didn't mind me. Actually, two of the sea turtles appeared five feet in front of my brother and me. The first one calmly lifted its head a few times to breath and then went down below, then the second did exactly the same. They swam with their two front feet-wings that have the interesting effect of making them look like angels (while their two rear feet-wings dangle in the back like horizontal rudders). They look like angels, and to me, they may as well be angels. I love sea turtles; maybe they are even my favorite animal. They are as cute, and as weird, as can be. Just like the lizard in the photo above that was crawling around the yard.

I'm always astonished by animals (especially humans). We are such weird, complicated, yet simple contraptions of life. If only we could all be as graceful as those angel-like sea turtles.... What harm could they possibly do to the world? How much cuter could they be?
